Getting started

How to create your first bundle

Start with a simple offer in Bundlex Bundles: buy one item at its usual price, buy two and save 10%, or buy three and save 20%. This guide takes you from choosing a template to checking the result in your cart.

Our example uses Revitalize Face Cream at a selling price of $28 USD. Use one of your own products and calculate the expected totals from its selling price. If you want a set of different products instead, follow buy one product or the complete bundle.

Before you start

  • Choose a product that is available on your online store and can be added to the cart.
  • Enable the Bundlex Bundles widget in your theme. The getting-started wizard guides you to the theme editor; you still need to turn on the embed and save the theme yourself.
  • Check whether another published Bundlex Bundles deal already targets your test product. Resolve any overlap before testing this new deal.

Step 1: Choose a quantity-break template

  1. From the Bundlex Bundles dashboard, click Create bundle.
  2. On Choose a bundle type, select the Volume category.
  3. Find Quantity breaks and click Choose.

This template starts with Buy 1, Buy 2 and Buy 3 offers. You can change its colors and styling later. For this first example, leave gifts, upsells and other optional features off.

1. Select Volume. 2. Choose the Quantity breaks template. Gallery previews can use a different store product; the next step selects the cream used in this example. Select the image to view it at full size.

Step 2: Choose your product

  1. In the Offers tab, open Show widget on at the top.
  2. Choose Selected products and select the product you want to use. In this example, that is Revitalize Face Cream.
  3. Check the product shown first in the bar above the editor preview. If the preview is showing something else, click that product and select the same one.

The preview helps you inspect an offer. Show widget on controls which storefront products actually receive it, so selecting a preview product alone is not enough.

1. Under Show widget on, select the product where this offer should appear. 2. Check that the preview uses the same product. This draft targets only Revitalize Face Cream. Select the image to view it at full size.

Step 3: Check the three offers

Open each offer in the Offers tab and review its quantity and Discount fields. Use these settings:

OfferQuantityDiscountTotal at $28 per item
Buy 11None$28.00
Buy 22Percentage: 10%$50.40
Buy 33Percentage: 20%$67.20

These example totals are before shipping and any additional tax or discount adjustments. Bundlex Bundles calculates the saving from the selling price, not a higher compare-at price.

Check that the titles and savings labels describe the settings you chose. For more pricing options and quantity behavior, see the full quantity-break guide.

1. Set Buy 2 to Percentage, Amount 10 and Quantity 2. 2. The preview shows two $28 creams for $50.40. Select the image to view it at full size.

Step 4: Save, then activate

  1. Review the offers in the preview.
  2. Click Save to keep the new deal as a Draft. Saving a draft does not make it live.
  3. When you are ready for shoppers to use it, click Activate.
  4. Wait for the deal to show Published. If an error appears, resolve it before checking the storefront.

You can later use Deactivate to stop the deal without deleting its setup. If Shopify refuses activation because of its automatic-discount limit, follow the discount-limit troubleshooting guide.

Step 5: Check your storefront and cart

  1. Open the selected product on your storefront. Confirm that the widget appears and its offers match your settings.
  2. Start with an empty cart, select Buy 2, and click your store's add-to-cart button.
  3. Check that the cart contains two of the correct product and variant. For our $28 example, the discounted product total should be $50.40.
  4. Continue to checkout to confirm the discount there, keeping shipping, tax and other discounts separate from the product total. You do not need to place an order.
  5. Empty the test cart and repeat for Buy 1 and Buy 3.

1. Select Buy 2 for two $28 creams at $50.40. 2. Use the product page Add to cart button to add the selected offer. Select the image to view it at full size.

1. Check the product and Buy 2 discount. 2. Confirm quantity 2. 3. The estimated total is $50.40 USD before any shipping or checkout adjustments. Select the image to view it at full size.

A correct editor preview does not replace this storefront check. If the widget is missing, review theme activation and product targeting. If the total differs, use the cart-total troubleshooting guide.

What to try next

Once the first offer works, you can adjust its styling or add a different promotion. Use Choose a bundle or discount setup to find the right guide for product sets, free gifts or optional extras.
